Awesome! Thanks so much, Jean, for spearheading and arranging this. Only thing I'm sad about is all these great books with 0 or 1. You think we might do a bonus vote on these that did not advance? Everyone lives polls, after all

Jean can you please explain how the voting is going to done. Are you doing separate rounds based on preliminary seconding? Or is each novel going to get the same chance?
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
As I said in the first post, the rounds will be based on the preliminary secondings. That's why it was so important to second.
